platinum extraction from different secondary sources has been experimentally tested by many researchers. in this article, dissolution of platinum in aqua-regia solution from two types of spent catalysts (reforming and nitric acid production) was kinetically studied. a variety of kinetic models for heterogeneous solid-liquid reactions, including homogeneous diffusion model, shrinking core model,...

The effect of phosphate on adsorption and oxidation of catechol, 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, in a heterogeneous Fenton system was investigated. In situ attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to monitor the surface speciation at the nano-Fe3O4 catalyst surface. The presence of phosphate decreased the removal rate of catechol and the abatement of dissolved organic compou...

In this study, Mn (III) salen complex was synthesized and immobilized onto the graphene oxide, which is modified by 3-chloropropyltrimethoxy silane. Heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, fourier transform infrared spectra, nitrogen adsorption−desorption isotherm and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The catalyt...

cobalt hydrogensulfate is an efficient catalyst for the condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione at 120 °c to afford 9,9-dimethyl-12-phenyl-8,10,11,12-tetrahydro-9-h-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives in high yields. also, polycondensation reactions of phenols with phthalic anhydride were carried out in the presence of cobalt hydrogensulphate under so...

simple, cheap and green protocol for effective conversion of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of h14[nap5w30o110] and ammonium nitrate is reported. the products were characterized by ft-ir and comparison of their physical properties with those reported in the literatures. the progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (tlc) technique. the ali...

a green, efficient and selective approach for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones with uhp at room temperature is reported. the reaction is performed in the presence of vanadia catalyst supported on mesocellular silica foam (mcf) with a v content ranging from 2% to 10% as heterogeneous and reusable catalyst. the structural and textural characterization of this catalyst were don...

this work described one pot syntheses of polysubstituted 2,6- dicyanoaniline and 2-(3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl) malononitrile derivatives in the presence of mgo nanoparticles (nps) under grinding conditions and microwave irradiation, respectively. the simple experimental procedure includes shorter reaction times, higher yields, lower cost and environmental friendliness. other remarkable features ar...
